Boeing also invested in Zunum and I tend to think that when it comes to airplanes, Boeing knows what the hell it's talking about.

If electric planes are the future why isnt Boeing making them itself? They dont have a new battery chemistry. The J/kg are just way too darn high to compete with oil. Now alge bred jet fuel is a different story...

3-How long do people typically sit on reserve right now?

Ahh, good. We do indeed aspire to have it better than Mesa.

2- No, except for jetway trades at the very beginning or end of a trip, coordinated and approved by CS. Otherwise trips are only broken up by CS themselves.

And we can't pickup trips out of base here. Some of our rules at Mesa were better for QOL in some ways (like cherry picking day trips out of 4 days, or being able to drop down as low as we wanted, etc.) Lots of QOL stuff, esp with respect to reserve, will change with a CBA I think. For the better.

Looks like Delta had a much bigger meltdown than we did. Guess the clown show isn't only here.

Hello could someone post the travel benefits such as ZED on other airlines, and buddy passes? I'd really appreciate it.

We have interline agreements with over 100 airlines from all Over the world.

You get 4 one-way buddy passes per quarter.

So do the folks over at UAL. Don't start a thread there now, they've had a tough week over there.

On a curious note:

Effective for Q2, JetBlue will no longer report monthly RASM

I suppose if it's not good, you should probably not report it?

JB pretty much sucks at predicting RASM on a monthly basis, and Wall Street has said that to them directly, so this makes sense. I think it will help stabilize the stock a bit, because it's a roller coaster every month with the RASM numbers.
